The following policy is only applicable for undergraduate students.
WPI awards credit for AP scores of 4 or 5 only. In order to receive AP credit, students must contact the College Board and request that their official test scores be sent to the Registrar’s Office electronically. Upon receipt/verification of appropriate AP scores, the below corresponding credit will be posted to the students’ records. The student will be notified via email upon posting of the credit; the AP credit will be graded with an “L” on the transcript.
*Please note: only 1/3 of AP credit (or IB credit) can be used toward the WPI Humanities and Arts requirement.
